Will Your Favorite Superhero Die In Marvel’s Civil War? Here Are The Odds

There is now a massive threat looming over the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No, I’m not talking about Thanos, I’m talking about Civil War. Last night it was revealed that the massively popular 2006 comic book crossover will soon be coming to the big screen in the form of the MCU’s Phase Three – which means that we are now just a couple years away from seeing our favorite superheroes start fighting each other instead of supervillains. We expect the consequences of the events to be tremendous, with at least some casualties. But who will be biting the bullet?

Armed with a deep knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a strong fondness for Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s comic book arc, we’ve gazed into our crystal ball into the future of Marvel to determine who may live and who may die during the climactic blockbuster event. Read on!

Captain America

Why He Might Live: Thanks to some amazing movies and some great performances by Chris Evans, Captain America has become one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – giving the studio incentive to keep him around. Plus, his conflict with Iron Man in the comics winds up being a non-lethal one, and both heroes walk away from Civil War alive.

Why He Might Die:Rumors have been swirling around that Captain America may not appear in the upcoming The Avengers 3, and it’s well known that Chris Evans’ Marvel contract is running out. Cap’s death occurring during Civil War would also be quite traumatic and heartbreaking, and could propel the comic book franchise to new dramatic levels.
